[00:00.000]	作曲 : Traditional
[00:03.06]	No more chant your old rhymes about old Robin Hood
[00:07.13]	His feats I do little admire
[00:11.14]	I'll sing the achievements of General Ludd
[00:15.10]	Now the hero of Nottinghamshire
[00:19.09]	Brave Ludd was to measures of violence unused
[00:23.06]	'till his sufferings became so severe
[00:27.03]	That at last to defend his own interest he rose
[00:31.04]	And for the great fight did prepare
[00:39.02]	The guilty may fear but no vengeance he aims
[00:42.24]	At the honest man's life or estate
[00:46.17]	His wrath is entirely confined to wide frames
[00:50.21]	And to those that would prices abate
[00:54.20]	Those engines of mischief were sentenced to die
[00:58.17]	By unanimous vote of the trade
[01:02.13]	And Ludd who can all opposition defy
[01:06.13]	Was the grand executioner made
[01:14.10]	And when in the work he destruction employs
[01:18.11]	Himself to no method confines
[01:22.07]	By fire and by water he gets them destroyed
[01:26.07]	For the elements aid his designs
[01:30.01]	Whether guarded by soldiers along the highway
[01:34.03]	Or closely secured in a room
[01:37.23]	He shivers them up by night and by day
[01:42.01]	And nothing can soften their doom
[01:49.11]	Ye may censure great Ludd's disrespect for the laws
[01:53.20]	Who ne'er for a moment reflects
[01:57.16]	That foul imposition alone was the cause
[02:01.16]	Which produced these unhappy effects
[02:05.03]	Let the haughty the humble no longer oppress
[02:09.01]	Then shall Ludd sheath his conquering sword
[02:13.09]	His grievances instantly meet with redress
[02:17.04]	Then peace shall be quickly restored
[02:22.24]	Let the wise and the great lend their aid and advice
[02:27.05]	Nor e'er their assistance withdraw
[02:31.03]	Till full-fashioned work at the old-fashioned price
[02:35.05]	Is established by custom and law
[02:38.24]	Then the trade when this arduous contest is o'er
[02:42.24]	Shall raise in full splendor its head
[02:46.21]	And colting and cutting and swearing no more
[02:51.01]	Shall deprive all his workers of bread
